BEYOND RETRO

My favorite clothing store of all time would have to Beyond Retro. They have such a massive collection of vintage clothing that I almost feel like my brain can't handle it every time I enter their store. I've only visited them in Stockholm but I believe they were originally founded in the UK. I really love the fact that someone else has done the digging for you and you don't have to go through all the trouble of rummaging through hundreds of pieces in order to find something nice, like on flea markets. Nope, it's all there laid out for you. The best of vintage. The prices are decent but not something to brag about, taking to account everything that they're selling is used. But then again a lot of stuff was very well made back in the old days, if you compare to the quality of the clothing you will get from most stores today. So I don't mind paying a little extra for that. They also sell stuff online but in my opinion, in order to get the full experience so to speak, you should head to one of their stores. The atmosphere is just beyond awesome (see what I did there). And of course vintage clothing may often be a little tricky size wise if you're doing your shopping online. Bottom line, go to one of their stores. You will not regret it.
